Checking interest before I nab some of these.

I'm kinda thinking about a few behind the grill on my truck :893karatesmiley-thu

and possibly a few for the reverse, just for ***** and grins....lol

Cost? $75 retail for a set. If I buy in sets of 10.........I can do 'em for $62.50 a set.

Here's a post from one of the employees from my supplier:

I finally had time to drop the new X.BAR DRL's in my LandCruiser. I had to do a little head scratching on the mounting and figured I would test out my new drill press. For the wiring, these use very little power (unsure of power draw, I will take a meter to them and post the findings), I simply tapped into my parking lights for each one and they work perfectly. I did not have to use the relay harness or do anything extra other than crimp and go. Excuse the AWESOME pictures, I am a novice with my DSLR still, and hopefully picking up a tri-pod. Maybe Matt can take some legit pictures tomorrow evening after work.

The ARB fog light inserts didn't allow me to install them with the bracket, I had to make them fit the ARB cutout mounts. Which is post style on each end.

X.DRL vs previous LED's...which worked for 2 days.

Output thoughts....but I did not expect HALF the output these produce. They are incredibly bright and I am beyond satisfied. These are on par with the Mercedes and Lexus LED DRL's. Not only are these prime for a replacement DRL, but the will be handy for pulling into camp sites, setting up camp without waking up the entire side of the mountain with my FXR's. They would be equivalent to a 6K bulb at 35W in terms of color. Despite the 6K output, they do not look silly below my 85122+. My truck is certainly not the type of truck that looks good with Angel Eyes, or any type of "cosmetic" lighting. I was a little concerned about it looking ricey...but my assumptions were smashed into the ground when I saw how bright these were. Mid-Day in direct sunlight you can see these things clearly from a football field away, and in the evening they are stunning. Just to give a reference since "bright" doesn't quite to justice, I can see the ambient lighting in cars from these above my cutoff as I pass people at night. These certainly filled my needs for DRL's, and went above and beyond.

I am up in the air. I might put it where the tow hooks go instead. Or in there somewhere. Pop that part out and drill 5 holes for the LEDs to stick out of. Ideas.......really no limit on them!

Maybe put it in the hood scoop? Hmmm unless the scoop is functional, just an idea :biggun:
